Eduardo Valdez DU1EV, Chief Operating Officer
The disaster caused by Typhoon Haiyan is something that no one can start to imagine.
The vast emergency communications and other tasks provided by the Ham Emergency Radio
Operator (HERO) network through affiliated clubs of the Philippines Amateur Radio Association
(PARA) is commended.
So many individuals devoted to the long hours of what is obviously hard work for volunteers,
deserves the highest of respect and praise, from all.
Closely following events through numerous reports is the Amateur Radio community around the
world, shocked by the typhoon aftermath but having some solace among the mayhem that
Amateur Radio emergency communications is heavily involved.
On behalf of Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) Board of Directors and members, our heartfelt
thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.
Yours sincerely
Phil Wait
